"The king he lifted his famous blade,

A blow on the shoulder of each he laid,

And by that little action a knight he is made,

Baptized into glorious chivalry.

'Bear thou this blow,' said the king to the knight,

'But never bear blow again:

For thy sword is to keep thine honor white,

And thine honor must keep thy good sword bright,

And both must be free from stain.'"

Then Charlemagne called: "Rise, Sir Ogier; rise, Sir Roland, henceforth my loyal knights."

With his own hands he girt on their swords. That was a great honor for these knights.
